The ML has charisma in spades. I watched him for a minute and I was sold on this drama. The guy who plays the…
Yes charisma! He’s very charismatic as Jin Han.

It took exactly 1 MINUTE for Jo Jung Seok to sell me on this. That man CAN ACT! I mean, I knew that already ever…
I’m enjoying JJS performance here a lot! There’s so much emotions in his eyes! The gazes he gives Mong Woo🤭 & his crying/tearful scenes. JJS plays the emotional aspect of Jin Han very well & the serious parts.

JJS face suits historical dramas. I know he was in Nokdu Flower but I haven’t seen it. It’s been a long time I’ve watched his stuff since OMyGhostess.

Title Captivating the King Spoiler
Can someone explain why the king turned on his younger brother?
Because of the rumors of Jin Han being a spy of the enemies & to dethrone the king.

Just watched the 1st episode and I’m liking it so far. Jo Jung Suk (ML) is always a joy to watch and Shin Sae…
Moon Gun Young was phenomenal in painter in the wind. She portrayed a young man very well - the mannerism , lower tone voice, & no makeup.

wow Jung Suk looks amazing in this drama! It's the first time I've seen him in a historical drama and he is great
He does! I think he looks great and his acting as Jin Han is 💖🤭

In ancient times feminine men is common because the concept of masculinity is practically not a standard on the…
True, because no noble women from an upper class that time would dare dress in men clothing without getting shamed but the makeup is a bit too much 🤣

BRUH, all these kdramas with cross-dressing female leads are soooo ✨🌈GAY🌈✨Like what do u mean, the main…
Yes I agree.
They can make Jin Han bisexual! That would be great. He can like men & women 🤭😌 He’s a royal grand prince, he can have the man or woman of his dreams!

Also, You should check out Jeong Nyeon! It will be released in Oct 2024! It will be a women-centric drama with a great cast of women actors! It’s based on a Webtoon with actual queer women characters & relationships! I’m hoping they stick closely to the Webtoon story! Especially the queer love story/couple.

I think if they didn’t give her makeup at all to wear as Mong Woo & changed her voice to a slightly deeper tone…
I mean if Jin Han likes dudes that’s not a problem to me. He can like both women & men 🤷‍♀️ that would be bold & neat because you don’t see that kind of character for a king/prince in saeguk/kdramas.

I just wish SSK portrayal/the presentation as a man was more believable so that Jin Han seeing Mong Woo as a man makes much more sense. Then the reveal/revelation of Mong Woo being a woman to Jin Han later on would hit much harder/effective.

tbh sae kyung does look like a really pretty guy - like total flower boy if you don’t know that she’s a girl…
I think if they didn’t give her makeup at all to wear as Mong Woo & changed her voice to a slightly deeper tone she would pass as a pretty man.

But yes it’s interesting far so I’ll let it slide 🤣

In terms of the story, I like it. Palace politics isn’t bad. The usual. The cinematography, production set, costume is high quality. The editing is flawless. Appropriate music. It’s movie-like filming. Overall the cast is doing a nice job. Veteran actors & many familiar faces.

JJS as Jin Han is so good! His eye /face acting is on fire 🤭💖❤️‍🔥He really sells the good nature-sad-tortured-happy go lucky-serious prince who wants someone he can confide in (like Mong Woo).

I like SSK here. ☺️I don’t have any issue other than the blatant makeup on her face. I don’t know why the producers thought it would be good for Mong Woo 🤣 It breaks the immersion. I feel like they decided to keep it on her face so they don’t have to reapply her makeup when she is not Mong Woo 🤣😒

The two leads have AMAZING chemistry OMG. They’ve only know each other for a few days but it seems like they’ve been friends for a lifetime already. The sensual TENSION is there ❤️‍🔥🔥💖🤭 When they are together I’m like JUST KISS ALREADY 🤭🤣 I love the scene when they played baduk together for the 1st time 🤭 & when Mong Woo helps dress Jin Han.

I’m excited for this one!! It gives me classic sageuk vibes. Something that I really miss.

My only complaint is SSK not looking like a man enough 🤣 She is too pretty. The makeup is too modern.

I hope they don't make a cis man play him. It would not make any sense considering the story and the GNC theme.
Yep. It makes more sense to have a women/actress play Mr Goh given the context of the story.

Am I too guarded or does that just sound like "yes, but it’s subtextual. Not totally explicit for those that…
I hope it’s shown like in the webtoon. When PD Jung said dramatized I hope that’s what she means 😭 or else 😒
